Obesity affects one-third of adults in the United States. As a chronic condition, it can put you at risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, and stroke.

Not to mention that it can also have psychological effects. For instance, it can lead to low-self esteem and depression.

Fortunately, it’s treatable. That is, there are various things that you can do to shed the weight — the HCG diet being one of them!

Don’t give up on the HCG diet because you’re a vegetarian.
